Tbh I couldn't find a decent tutorial on how to achieve something like this with vectoring. Google was not my friend.

Okthen I'm guessing your problems stem way back from step one, when you removed the background.
I don't use Gimp so I'm not going to give a step-by-step, but here's a general idea of how to fix this quickly.
Turn off the background and merge all of the foreground, white outline included, onto one new layer.
Set the new layer to 'preserve transparency'.
Now use the clone tool to 'extend' the edges of the coloured area onto the white... just click right near the edge of the colour to set the sample position, then move a few pixels in and clone onto the white.
Messy, but it should basically work.

hmm sounds tedious but...I've investigated all the other possible quick fixes and failed, so it looks like more manual grafting is necessary.
Thanks for the tip, I'll go away, take a break then get cracking with it. cheers!

Here:
I fixed this using the method above. It left it looking pretty jaggy, so I smoothed it by selecting everything except the background, masking it, gaussian blurring the mask, then playing with the levels of the mask until the jaggies smoothed out.
